The psychologist refutes the idea that children should never be reprimanded or punished. While it has some merit, she says this idea is dangerous because never punishing children rewards them for bad behavior. This encourages them to continue to misbehave.

The contention that children should never be reprimanded is what the argument is designed to refute. The psychologist allows that the idea has some merit, but has a very undesirable consequence.

This answer choice is not completely accurate because while the argument ultimately refutes the view, it does not “entirely” discredit it. The argument is “laudable,” meaning it has some good qualities, it just has a big problem.

This is incorrect because the psychologist is refuting this view, saying that it has dangerous results.

While the author does address the well-intentioned parts of the argument, the argument’s true goal is to establish why this view is problematic.

This most accurately describes the role of the view in the argument. The author argues the view is “dangerous” or seriously flawed, with the caveat that part of the view is “laudable” or valuable.

No other view is mentioned. The author argues there is a problem with the view, not about its relative reasonableness.
